    The rules…

    • Every participant starts with a wristband.

    • To gain a wristband, call out another dancer and battle them.

    • The loser must surrender their wristband. Losing means:

      • Admitting defeat (honor system).

      • Running out of energy, getting repetitive, or shortening rounds.

      • If neither admits defeat, the cypher decides on the spot who wins.

    • If a dancer loses all wristbands, they can still battle, but only against someone with a wristband.

      • If they win, they gain a wristband

      • If they lose, they're out

    • By the end of the night, the dancer with the most wristbands wins.

    • If there’s a tie between 2 or more dancers, the remaining dancers must face off in a final cypher, and the last dancer standing wins.
